“Heh…” Duke Wilson chuckled, “You have tied your destiny to your many years of friendship with George, but I don’t have such confidence.”

Lord Orlam’s face flushed, “You…You don’t trust George?”

“Of course I don’t trust him.” Duke Wilson said blankly, “There are very few people in this world whom I can trust.” When he said this, he glanced at Evan and Evan’s heart skipped a beat.

Lord Orlam lowered his head in despair, “I didn’t expect that such a thing would happen…”

“There is no need to say more about these meaningless words. He also considered it from the whole point of view. Rand is involved in this incident. It is very important to capture him this time and it is not surprising for George to make such a decision.” Duke Wilson said something close to words of praise at this time, “On the contrary, for so many years, this is the only time I can really feel that my support is not wrong.”

Duke Wilson’s words made Lord Orlam wake up from his daydream and he looked at Duke Wilson. In fact he knew, if there was no other choice, Duke Wilson would not be so obvious about his support for Prince George, but he still did not expect that at this time, he would say such a thing.

“You…” Lord Orlam was at a loss for words.

Duke Wilson’s expression remained unchanged, and he said solemnly, “Let the messenger come in, I have something to tell him.”

Lord Orlam nodded, a little embarrassed. He pulled Duke Wilson in, but he still wants Duke Wilson to rescue him in the end.

The messenger came in quickly. Duke Wilson glanced at the man who had a slightly humble expression. Although his low eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, his strong steps and strong body proved that this man was not an ordinary person.

“Lord Duke.” He bowed to Duke Wilson.

Duke Wilson raised his hand reservedly, “Did George send you here?” In this world, there are only the kings who dare to call the prince by his name, that is, these royal relatives.

“Yes.” The messenger’s tone was soft and courteous.

“I already know what he wants to convey, but I also have one thing for you to convey,” said Duke Wilson, pulling a letter from his sleeve. “You will take this to George.” He had prepared the letter for a long time and actually expected that he would never use this letter, but now it seems that it is somewhat impossible.

The messenger took the letter very meekly, “Please rest assured, I will definitely deliver your letter.”

The messenger withdrew, but Lord Orlam looked at Duke Wilson with great confusion, “What do you want to convey to Prince George?”

Duke Wilson raised the glass on the table, squinted his eyes and said nothing.

Evan was sitting next to him, but he thought quickly in his heart. Duke Wilson’s remarks gradually calmed his anxious heart and at this moment he was finally able to think about the issues rationally.

It is very common for Duke Wilson to keep a card in this matter. According to the character of the Duke in the book, before he met the heroine, he was always extremely sensitive and extremely withdrawn. He is no longer as sensitive and withdrawn as before but his suspicious nature has never diminished. Now that he thinks about it, his fear was indeed a little unfounded. When he is with someone like Duke Wilson, he does not have to worry about being isolated and helpless.

Evan glanced at Duke Wilson, who kept silent. Since the Duke has surplus soldiers in his hands but he still wrote to Prince George at this time, it means that the surplus soldiers he left are related to Prince George. Going a little deeper, maybe this is also Duke Wilson’s move to test Prince George.

Lord Orlam is not a person to be easily dismissed. The duke’s silence could not satisfy him, so he continued to ask, “My lord, it has come to this point, just tell me!”

Duke Wilson was a little impatient. He waved his hand but then saw Evan who was sitting thoughtfully beside him. Suddenly, he couldn’t say the words of refusal that had been about to spill from his lips. He pursed his lips slightly and said, “Although my soldiers can be used at any time, George is the crown prince after all, so I still have to tell him.”

Duke Wilson said very cautiously, but in fact he did not say that the soldiers he handed over to Prince George, although nominally the soldiers belong to him, he has been hiding in Delanlier for many years and he has very little contact with these people. In fact, what he trusts more is the successor he recruited in Delan Lier and left behind this time. He gave them orders before he came here and if he didn’t show up before three o’clock in the afternoon, these people would come to his rescue.

But the letter he wrote to George said that he needed the adjutant he lent George to order these soldiers. He just wanted to see what choice George would make. George was destined to win at that moment in London and this time George’s choice will determine how Duke Wilson will get along with him in the days to come.

No one could know what Duke Wilson was thinking about, but the meaning he revealed made old foxes like Lord Orlam ponder.

Because of Duke Wilson’s backhand, the pessimistic atmosphere that had pervaded the three of them reduced. Although the three of them were still quiet, the silence at this time was much easier than before.

The shouting and killing outside became louder and louder, and more and more of Lord Orlam’s guards were killed and injured. At this time, Lord Orlam couldn’t sit still. He wanted to go out and improve those soldiers’ morale but he was blocked by Duke Wilson in the end. He looked at the time and when the time was approaching three o’clock, he said warmly, “It’s useless for you to go out now, before the absolute strength gap, we have nothing to do, and now taking advantage of the location, we can hold on for a while. The reinforcements will arrive soon, so you will only increase the danger if you go out.”

Lord Orlam’s expression changed. Duke Wilson was able to estimate when the reinforcements would arrive and it seemed that he was really prepared.

Lord Orlam was persuaded by Duke Wilson and he sat back on the sofa. Although the adjutant at the bottom said that he could last for half an hour, in the face of the ever-changing battlefield, Lord Orlam did not dare to completely relax. At this time, time began to become unusually slow but it was only a quarter of an hour while Lord Orlam felt as if a month had passed.

The roars outside had gradually weakened and Lord Orlam knew very well that his guards had reached their limit, but at this moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded.

At this time, guns are still a very rare thing. They are playthings of nobles. Very few soldiers at the bottom can own firearms. Even for the rich Lord Orlam, there are only about ten guns among his guards, but this time the sound of the gun made Lord Orlam very sensitively aware that there were definitely no less than thirty guns in this burst of gunshots.

“Are your soldiers here?” Lord Orlam looked at Duke Wilson with piercing eyes.

Duke Wilson raised his eyebrows, with a determined smile in his eyes, “Maybe.”

At this moment, an adjutant suddenly ran in. His military uniform, which was originally handsome, was now somewhat tattered and his body was still stained with blood and black ash. He looked very embarrassed but there was an excited smile on his face, “Lord! Lord! Someone is coming to the rescue! Someone is coming!”

Orlam stood up suddenly, with a very rare excited expression on his face, he looked straight at Duke Wilson and suddenly said, “My lord, thank you very much this time.”

He said so solemnly that even Duke Wilson was stunned for a moment.

“You don’t have to thank me, I did this for myself.” Duke Wilson looked very calm on the surface, but a thought suddenly appeared in his heart. He glanced at Evan subconsciously, Evan looked so nervous before but he didn’t know that he would rather die than let him fall into such a state of isolation.

Although Duke Wilson’s remarks were very rude, Lord Orlam was still smiling and didn’t mind it at all.

“Although you say so, this time it is you who saved my name. I am really grateful.” Although Lord Orlam is cunning, he also has the unique qualities of a gentleman in this era. For a person who saved himself, naturally, he had to take a high look.

Because of the sudden rescue, the situation of the war outside has also fundamentally reversed. Those who were in the hope of winning completely fell into despair in the face of this accident, because they also lost a lot in this war. The people who were in ecstasy fell into despair. The people who were tired seemed to have been injected with a cardiotonic at this time and they all recovered at once.

The defeat of Duke Rand’s soldiers was also a matter of course. After seeing hope, they fell into despair. Unless Jesus was alive, they could restore their confidence, but the soldiers on Duke Wilson’s side became more and more brave and the situation became even more difficult than it was before.

At last the war was over in less than half an hour and Lord Orlam sat in the house, heard the shouting outside gradually subside and there was a relaxed expression on his face, but Duke Wilson’s expression was still awe-inspiring, he also looked at the door with a more focused gaze than before. He wanted to see who was coming this time.

Duke Wilson didn’t know what he was expecting in his heart. In fact, he had experienced the selfishness of human nature countless times, but as long as he thought of the child who always followed quietly behind him when he was a young, he is now somewhat looking forward to seeing what George has become after so many years.

Duke Wilson’s solemn expression also affected Lord Orlam and Evan. Lord Orlam was a little ignorant, but Evan, who knew Duke Wilson better, had a thoughtful look on his face. It seemed that Duke Wilson still really dug a hole for Prince George, then we have to see how Prince George performs this time. Thinking of this, Evan also looked at the door with great interest.

Ten minutes later, in their opinion, it felt like ten years later, the sound of the door opening finally came and the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor made the three people in the living room think differently. Finally, when the door was pushed open, the three people looked at the door together…

Duke Wilson looked at the man walking towards him and suddenly smiled, still the idiot he used to be…
